Chapter 1660: 300 is in the long run, Saudi Arabia also feels that there is not enough money

What should I do after the oil production is completed?

This is a problem facing the leaders of all oil-producing countries in the Middle East.

After receiving the news sent back by Prince Sultan, the king immediately summoned his aides and core members of the royal family to hold a secret meeting to discuss.

In the end, the staff and royal members agreed that they could use this as an opportunity to cooperate with Hongqi Group.

In recent years, Hongqi Group has not only developed military equipment, various resource investments, infrastructure construction, civil high-tech R&D, etc., but has begun to appear in front of the world.

If the cooperation benefits are good, you can consider further expanding your investment in the high-tech field with Hongqi Group, and even considering cooperation with countries around the world in high-tech fields.

Less than 12 hours after Sultan sent the message, he was authorized by King Fahd.

The king's instructions were very simple, and he ordered Prince Sultan to work hard with the Hongqi Group, and the more high-tech projects he could invest in, the better, and he could not even consider short-term returns.

Long-term returns are a must.

"Your Highness, you can discuss investment and cooperation later. Now let's negotiate the equipment cooperation between the two parties first."

Xie Kai was not very excited about the positive performance of Saudi Arabia.

How to operate investment cooperation needs further discussion and study the details, and negotiations are protracted.

Now the procurement of other equipment in Saudi Arabia is the most important highlight.

As long as Saudi Arabia buys the satellite system, it will continue to purchase the equipment of Hongqi Group in the future.

Prince Sultan and others naturally knew that the negotiations were protracted and at least the rights and obligations of both parties must be clarified.

Saudi Arabia will not only invest but not pursue profits. Getting a defense system is part of it. If it can get a production line and establishing these manufacturing plants in Saudi Arabia's domestic foot will be of great help to Saudi Arabia's industrial improvement...

Therefore, Sultan and others did not engage in too much in this matter.

As long as there is no problem in discussing the big framework, it will be easier to discuss the details of the cooperation in the future.

The most important thing now is to purchase the weapons and equipment of Hongqi Group to enhance Saudi Arabia's defense strength.

"For your full set of combat command systems, we purchase the various equipment quantity on the list. I think you should have suggestions... Didn't you propose a full set of national defense construction solutions at the beginning?"

Rafata handed Xie Kai a list and said calmly to Xie Kai.

Xie Kai used to sell equipment based on defense plans.

I have also promoted it to Saudi Arabia, but Saudi Arabia did not pay.

Although we did not ask for a complete set of plans at that time, we also purchased nearly $5 billion in various equipment.

"The defense construction solution we proposed before was based on all troops using our equipment... Of course, you can also purchase some equipment by yourself..."

Xie Kai is now too lazy to sell a full set of defense solutions.

That kind of plan is of little use to a country like Saudi Arabia, especially the important strategic position in which Saudi Arabia is located. It will definitely not work without buying American father's weapons.

How much weapons and equipment they can sell depends on how long the camel can withstand it.

For Xie Kai, this is almost a one-time deal, and it will probably be difficult in the future.

"We provide various equipment in a building-based manner based on brigades... This belongs to a new type of hybrid synthetic brigade. According to the system, it is composed of the brigade headquarters battalion, armored synthetic battalion, support battalion and logistics support battalion... The model of the experimental troops you see at the exercise venue, that unit is just a brigade. Each armored synthetic battalion not only equips the main battle tanks, but also armored vehicles as the main offensive force of the ground forces, but also equips a large number of individual anti-tanks and air defense missiles... The brigade headquarters is equipped with armed helicopters for ground support... Of course, your country can use the air force to provide more powerful combat support..."

Xie Kai did not introduce the organization of the Blue Army before.

What we are introducing now is also a military construction plan provided to Kuwait.

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait should have the same demands. In this regard, there will naturally be no resistance to such a synthetic brigade.

Prince Sultan looked at Xie Kai, "Is this a solution for the Kuwaits? We need more firepower than them!"

Xie Kai looked at the prince, didn’t he know that such a mixed synthesis brigade could bankrupt many small countries?

But his face was not revealed.

Saudi tyrants are rich.

"Your Highness, the main combat troops are organized in this way through our years of combat experiments...and drones, such as drones, will add an information combat brigade to the brigade headquarters, which not only implements electronic warfare, but also controls drone reconnaissance, etc. Long-range firepower can be used independently as strategic forces... Especially drones, whether they provide fire support as the Air Force or as strategic cruise missiles for long-range attacks, there is no problem..."

"The support battalion, originally the 122 self-propelled howitzer battalion could be replaced with a 300 rocket launcher with a range of 120 kilometers. This rocket launcher can also be expanded and used for independent combat support. Of course, one battalion can also be equipped with 54 gates..."

What Xie Kai proposed was still prepared for the Kuwaits.

The Kuwaiti people disliked the 122 self-propelled howitzer was not capable of combat capability and not strong enough firepower.

Xie Kai directly suggested that they replace the 122mm self-propelled howitzer with a 300mm long-range rocket launcher, with a long range and great power.

It can attack from afar and defend close.

"Yes, the range of Dihongqi is 240 kilometers and the range of 300 mm long-range rocket launcher is 120 kilometers, which can fully form an effective fire support system."

Prince Sultan expressed satisfaction with the 300mm long-range rocket launcher.

Lafata asked Xie Kai about the price of 300mm rocket launcher with concern.

"Everyone, the 300mm rocket launcher consists of rocket launchers, rockets, shooting command vehicles, transportation loading vehicles and other units. The shooting command vehicles, transportation loading vehicles, etc. are all equipped according to combat units like 122mm self-propelled howitzers. With 6 units as a unit, a shooting command vehicle and a transportation loading vehicle are given... "

Whether it is a 122 self-propelled howitzer or a 300 rocket launcher, Xie Kai sells equipment only for combat equipment, and supporting command vehicles and transportation loading vehicles, etc. are all additional equipment that is given away.

This is not for nothing, but the cost is calculated.

"Thank you, please tell me the price."

Xie Kai looked at the Saudis and showed an amiable smile on his face, "Everyone, this kind of rocket launcher is powerful and has high accuracy, and can use a variety of warheads. If it is an ordinary warhead, each rocket costs only 350,000 US dollars, and the rocket launcher only costs 3.6 million US dollars per... "

"You are robbing!"

Lafata jumped up.

Too expensive.

"Thank you, don't think we don't understand. Rocket launchers are completely different from missiles. Rocket launchers rely on saturation strike artillery weapons. This kind of rocket launcher has a range of half that of the Earth Red Flag, and its accuracy is much lower... A Earth Red Flag is only 650,000 US dollars, and this kind of rocket costs 350,000 US dollars? What if the price of a rocket launcher is cheaper?"

For the Saudis, Xie Kai's offer exceeded their expectations.

They originally thought that this kind of rocket that consumed very quickly would only cost about $100,000 per rocket.

Xie Kai actually quoted a high price of US$350,000.

A rocket launcher costs $3.6 million, not too high.

Rockets are consumables, and the price is too unacceptable.

Xie Kai looked at Lafata and frowned: "General, do you have any misunderstandings about this? Who said that the rockets are cheap? Then what rockets are scored!"

"Shouldn't rocket launchers be cheaper than missiles?" Rafata was stunned.

According to Xie Kai's compilation, a battalion is equipped with 54 rocket launchers, and the total price of rocket launchers is only more than 100 million US dollars.

But the price of rockets is deadly.

The kind I saw at the exercise venue, each 300 rocket launcher is equipped with 8 joints, and one rocket launcher is fired at one volley, and 8 rockets are gone.

A battalion-level rocket launcher will fire 432 rockets.

A battalion-level volley costs $1.5 billion!

Even a rich country like Saudi Arabia cannot afford such consumption.

Once the war goes on, it will definitely not be solved by a single volley.

Like the Iran-Iraq War, if there were such multiple rocket launchers, it would probably be poorer...

What's more, this is just a brigade's combat support battalion.

In addition to the use of the Earth Red Flag tactical missile, how many countries' armies can afford it?

"Everyone, rocket launchers pay attention to saturated coverage strikes. Under battalion-level rocket launchers, they fired 432 rockets at the enemy's deep positions at the same time. The warheads of these rockets reached 150 kilograms, which is equivalent to more than 400 heavy zhà dàn landing in this area... Under such a blow, the enemy's positions will not grow... The power is important, the price is all about floating clouds..."

Although Xie Kai said this on the surface, his heart was actually bleeding.

If I had known it, I shouldn't have changed the design to save costs.

In order to save costs, the rocket launchers designed by the base are no longer the original 12-unit installation, but only 8-unit installation.

Whether it is a tornado or a 270, it is 12 tubes.

A rocket launcher fired at one volley and 12 rockets went out.

At that time, what was flying was no longer rockets, but small money!

For the Middle East rich, a few more rockets will have stronger firepower.

Even if it is a 8-barrel-level rocket launcher, the cost is very high, and domestic troops cannot afford it.

How many billions of dollars does the country spend a year?

A battalion-scale rocket launcher volley will occupy one-by-one part of the country's annual military expenditure...

Of course, the domestic rocket production cost is actually less than 300,000 yuan per soft sister coin.

Xie Kai's price was based on previous practice and directly exchanged the unit for US dollars.

Now the exchange rate of Soft Girl Coin against the US dollar has fallen below 5:1.

Profit exceeds 5 times.

In order to make the Saudis moved, the Blues mobilized four 300 rocket launchers to show their power, which scared the members of the Saudi and Kuwait delegation.

"Everyone, please imagine how much survivability the enemy has under such a blow, under 54 300 rocket launchers are fired in a salvo?"

Xie Kai looked at the expression of a painful expression to the Saudis, and felt secretly happy.

Saudis who have always felt that they are uniquely rich finally found that they have insufficient money.
